At this time, in the battle of Jialing Mountain, the German army was at a disadvantage. After crossing the army to the battlefield, it suddenly became Guan Jian's force to change the balance of power on the battlefield. ￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￠￡￠￠￠￡￠￠￠￡￠�

Although the number of reinforcements is not large, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. What's more, there is a mortar platoon. In this small and medium-sized battlefield with a scale of thousands of people, mortars with lightness and flexibility, can be far or near, and have a certain lethality, are definitely a killer weapon. The crossing army first sets up mortars and launches bombardment on the German positions.

Three mortars fired more than ten rounds in a row, and the shells fell into the German positions and exploded, causing the German army to be injured and killed. Then they crossed the army to charge towards the German army. At the same time, the People's Army also launched a full-scale attack on the German army. Under such two attacks, the German army finally could not resist and was defeated in full. Only a small number of soldiers fled from the battlefield, and the rest were either killed in battle or surrendered. Ye Shike, the governor of the Jiaoao in Germany, was also captured on the battlefield.

The battle was basically over at around 10 a.m. The time traveler achieved a comprehensive victory and completely occupied the Qingdao area. However, the work of clearing the battlefield ended until 5 p.m., because this battle was the battle with the most troops and the widest range of combat since the founding of the People's Army.

After cleaning, a total of 228 soldiers were killed on the crossing side of the battle, 261 injured, and 31 missing. Among the injured, 73 were seriously injured and had to be hospitalized for treatment. It is estimated that nearly half of them were disabled and it is basically impossible to return to the battlefield. In addition, 9 soldiers in this battle also died and 13 were injured. Fortunately, the injured soldiers were not seriously injured, and there was nothing serious.

Although compared with previous battles, this battle was the battlefield where the time travelers suffered the most casualties in this era, with more than 500 combatants reduced, accounting for almost 15% of the participating troops, this is also the price that the People's Army must pay during its growth. Moreover, in this battle, the People's Army's first, second, fifth, and sixth battalions, as well as the artillery battalions, were all forged in actual combat. After baptism and accumulation of practical combat experience, it can be said that this is another huge gain in this battle.

Of course, the results of the First World War were also very generous. A total of 1,153 German soldiers were killed, 2,295 were captured, and another 117 German soldiers were missing. In addition, in this battle, four German ships were sunk, and three large ironclad ships that were stranded on the beach act as turrets. Although the superstructure was severely damaged, the main guns were all destroyed and the secondary guns were mostly damaged, the hull and the power of the hull was basically intact. As long as it was dragged away from the grounding position, it could rely on its own power, and of course it became the spoils of time travelers.

At the same time, a large number of other spoils were seized in this battle, mainly including more than 1,500 German Mauser Type 98 rifles, more than 120 Mauser Type 96 pistols, 12 imitation Maxim machine guns, tens of thousands of bullets of various types, and a large amount of food and military supplies, as well as about 37,000 taels of silver, and about 225,000 yuan for German Mark.

And this is not the entire gain of time travelers, because it also includes the infrastructure construction carried out by Germany in Qingdao. Compared with the attitude that Britain only regarded Weihaiwei as its stronghold in northern China, Germany should pay more attention to Qingdao. After forcibly renting Qingdao, it planned to build Qingdao into a model colony of Germany in the Far East. Therefore, it made a detailed construction plan for the construction of Qingdao and is being implemented step by step. The Qingdao sewer, which was circulating in the old time and space, was planned to be built at this time. Although the legend about Qingdao sewer is a bit exaggerated, the old city of Qingdao in the old time and space was indeed the foundation laid at this time.

However, Germany has been forcing its leasing Qingdao for less than three years, so most of the plans are only on the drawings. Even the planned German Governor's Office has not started construction, but has temporarily used the original Qing Dynasty Jiaoao General Office. To this end, only the Bismarck Mountain (i.e. Qingdao Mountain) military camps and the docks in Qingdao Bay, as well as a small hospital, while the Maudji Mountain (Shuishu Mountain) and the Irtis Mountain (Taiping Mountain) have only been completed and 70% to 80%.

In addition, the German arsenal built in Qingdao has completed about 60% of the time. Because Qingdao is too far from Germany, the one-way time will take as long as two months. Therefore, the weapons and ammunition of Qingdao's German army, including rifles and artillery parts, cannot be completely supplied by domestic supply. It must be produced locally by part so that most of them can be self-sufficient. According to German plans, a production line for Mauser 98 rifles and rifle bullets, as well as a production line for 75,100 mm caliber shells will be established in Qingdao. In the future, the Qingdao German army can use Mauser 98 rifles, bullets, spare parts, and small and medium caliber shells, which can be produced locally in Qingdao.

Now the arsenal's factory facilities have basically been completed, and the machinery and equipment required for the production line has also arrived in Qingdao. Some of them were transported by the German fleet, but the production line is being assembled.

Another construction project is a ship repair factory. Because Germany can only transport it from Qingdao by sea, and ships travel from Germany to Qingdao thousands of miles away, there will inevitably be some damage. In addition, in order to defend Qingdao, Germany will definitely moor a fleet in Qingdao, so basic maintenance of warships is indispensable. Therefore, it is also completely necessary to build a ship repair factory in Qingdao to provide maintenance and repair services to ships coming to Qingdao.

According to Germany's plan, this ship repair shop will build two dry docks that can accommodate 10,000 tons of ships for comprehensive repair; two ship platforms that can be benched and repaired by 20,000 tons of ships. Now the territory of the ship repair shop has been completely divided, most of the roads and factory buildings have been completed, and the ship platform is under construction, and the two dry docks have been excavated, one of which has been about half of the excavated, while the other has only been less than 30%. At the same time, Germany has transported a batch of machinery and equipment from China and is beginning to assemble.

There is another project that is not considered the infrastructure of Jingdao, but it is a major engineering project, which is the Jiaoji Railway. Before Germany forcibly renting Qingdao, Germany had planned to build a Jiaoji Railway from Qingdao to Jinan after renting Jingdao, taking the opportunity to expand Germany's sphere of influence in Shandong. Therefore, when Germany and the Qing court signed the Jiaoao Lease Treaty, they also obtained the power to build the Jiaoji Railway in Shandong and mine along the railway.

In March 1899, 14 major banks in Germany formed the "Sydian" (note), established Dehua Bank, Shandong Railway Company, mining company and other institutions, jointly invested in Jiaoji Railway and mining industries, solving the funding problems of Jiaoji Railway. Subsequently, the German government quickly issued 16 articles of the "Classification Shandong Railway Company Construction Railway and Business Terms", requiring all railways between Qingdao and Jinan to be built within five years; in June 1899, the survey and design of Jiaoji Railway began in full, and the required equipment and materials were transported from Germany; on September 23, the construction of Jiaoji Railway began in Qingdao.

While the Germans were building the lines, they also built the Sifang Locomotive and Vehicle Factory, which was equipped with Jiaoji Railway, in early 1900, to manufacture trains, which was the predecessor of Qingdao Sifang Vehicle Co., Ltd., the old space-time Lijian. In this era, Sifang Locomotive and Vehicle Factory was the third rolling stock factory in China after two vehicle factories in Tangshan and Dalian. At first, the Germans transported steam locomotive parts from the local area and assembled at the factory and prepared to be opened for trial opening.

However, the Boxer Rebellion broke out that year, so the construction of the Jiaoji Railway was forced to be shut down for nearly a year. Until now, the Jiaoji Railway has only been equipped with less than 20 kilometers, and a large amount of equipment and materials are idle.

Since the time travelers conducted detailed reconnaissance of the German army's defense in Qingdao before the start of the Qingdao campaign, the time travelers had clear goals and accurate firepower in the battle. Except for a few military camps, no other construction projects were damaged. After the time travelers occupied Qingdao, they immediately sent troops to the German engineering projects in Qingdao to protect all the engineering sites, equipment and equipment to avoid being damaged in panic. These construction projects are very useful for the time travelers.

At the project site, the People's Army also found a large number of German engineering and technical personnel and a small number of German merchants. These people were transferred from Germany from China and were responsible for the construction of Qingdao's engineering. Among them, there were also skilled technical workers, and a considerable number of engineers, totaling about 600.

There are also more than 2,000 Chinese working on various engineering sites. Because Qingdao now has a large number of engineering projects, in addition to engineering and technical personnel, it also requires a large amount of ordinary labor. This is no longer necessary to be transferred from Germany, and Chinese people are recruited to work in Qingdao. There were originally nearly 5,000 Chinese working on the project site, but after the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion, all projects were affected to varying degrees. Some projects were forced to stop work, some workers fled, and some workers joined the Boxer Rebellion, so there are only more than 2,000 people left.

After the time travelers had fully controlled the various engineering sites, they imprisoned all German merchants and engineering technicians. This was the same after the time travelers occupied the Tianjin Concession, because the time travelers had just occupied Qingdao and had not yet established a stable foothold and had not yet restored normal order. The Germans obviously belonged to the unreliable category, so they were imprisoned first and wait until the time travelers' rule in Qingdao stabilized before they released them.

The Chinese who worked at various projects were all released and returned home. Each of them also gave a severance fee of one or two silver taels and told them that they would start again in a few days and hoped that they would come back to work.
